Summary

Henry Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 796 students in the Long Beach Unified School District, consistently performing in the top 20% of schools statewide.

The school truly stands out for its exceptionally low rate of chronic absenteeism, at just 8.9% compared to a district average of 26.2%, which is a key factor in its stable academic success. While schools like Prisk Elementary and Newcomb Academy achieve higher overall rankings, Henry demonstrates remarkable effectiveness with specific student groups, such as those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, where it earns 4 to 5-star ratings. It also operates with notable efficiency, spending significantly less per student than neighboring schools like Twain Elementary and Cleveland Elementary while maintaining strong outcomes.

Henry represents a compelling model of consistency and resourcefulness, maintaining a 4-star rating for years with particularly strong foundational scores in younger grades. Its ability to support vulnerable student populations so effectively, combined with its success in ensuring students are present and engaged, makes it a high-performing and equitable choice within the district's upper-middle tier, alongside schools like Carver Elementary and Emerson Parkside Academy.
